Nice stuff!

 

There are more old rolling piles of misery at the front of the building on US 30.

 

Is that Dwight Bonds place? Some nice ones out front. Wonder whats out back.

Gotta love google earth!

Here is where im going tommorrow. With trailer in tow.

 

Dunno who owns it, as I've never been there. Spotted it while using Google Earth to search for "Ghost Signs."

 

...Left out in the cold......

HOLY CRAP!! All these beauties are sitting around deteriorating, and people who own them, for the most part, won't let go or save them.


I have been actively looking for over a year for a set of steps and a driver's door for my 1956 C600, and can't find anything to complete my COE.(And 53-56 are interchangeable)


I'm starting to think Midnight Auto may be my only salvation, but it's hard to work on it from a jail cell!

Here is a few seen in Nevada

 

....Spring finally on the way. I found this gem about 10 years ago. Never could track down an owner. Eventually gave up. Went looking for it again today. Still there. Time to get serious about finding the owner.........

...Out and about today......

 

Wow, great thread.
Don't have much in the salvage/wrecking yards around here. With the price of scrap metal being so high right now, just about everything older than '90 has been sold off for scrap

 

I love this thread. I will one day get some pic's of the ones
I have seen around here. Keep them coming Guys.

 

...And now for something a bit different.....Back in 2003 a friend of mine told me about a 53 Pickup sitting in a yard. The truck was used by a local body shop as a parts chaser way back when. So I go check it out........




...Yup, genuine 53 F-100. Quite solid, motor not seized, great for a project, custom grille ... ah ...well ... yeah...... $550. changes hands, it follows me home....











...Not having time for another project back then, I stored it away for a future project. Now this is where it gets interesting.
...We've all heard of people using, over-using, re-inventing the term "barn find" ... Well, I have inadvertently created a real "barn find" truck here.
... First you need a barn. ...




...Pry open the door, and find the treasure....




Along with other parts hidden away....and the manditory layer of dust...


























....Now, this is where it gets a bit confusing. Its not really a barn find, cause nobody has found it yet. ... And in the 12 years its been hidden away, I have not shown it to anyone.... So we will just slide the door closed, keep it hidden away until the day I have time for it.... and I doubt it will be "found".

Neat truck SStans. Do you have a good picture of the passenger door?

 

Cool truck. Looks like someone modified the center section off a 57 F100 grille to fit the 53.

 

....Todays finds.......
